Days That End In “Y”
An all-around drinking blog that posts quality news on the world of spirits, beer, wine, gadgets… the list goes on, as do the posts, which are too numerous to count. “Updated frequently” would be an understatement.

Last Mixology Monday, we had over 15 submissions, and I was pleased to be introduced to several new blogs that I’ve since added to my reading list. The upcoming Mixology Monday is being hosted right here at Kaiser Penguin on June 5th, and the topic is Mint. The Rules Create, review, or share a drink […]

Arrrrrr!, Demerara rum. Such a lovely lass ye’are. I been questin’ for ye some time now, and I have finally found me cap’ns treasure! A famous French pirate captain that is, and a monk too.

Entitled Two Parts Vodka, One Part Science, the article definitely seems as if it’s written for those who are already passionate about cocktails, yet there is a bit of history in there for newcomers.

On the recommendation of Paul Clarke over at Cocktail Chronicles, I sauntered over in an allergy-infused delirium to Barnes and Noble to snag the premiere issue of Imbibe. It took me a second to find it tucked away on the top shelf amongst a plethora of beer brewing and wine enthusiast-type magazines, but once in […]
